An Interesting Case Decided liz
GrecnbTter.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
HINTON, W. VA, July %, 1897.
On Saturday in the Circuit Court of
Greenbrier the celebrated case Of
jarrett rs. Kceney was concluded and q
verdict rendered in favor OF Keeney.
This suit involved some $4,000 III
money and SO, coo worth Of property.
The facts, we learn, are as follows ::
Samuel Jarrett, wealthy old bachelor,
lived in Greenbrier, and being of &C.
centric character would not associate
with his relatives. In fact, they knew
but little of him. John Keeney and
wife lived on Jarretts farm. and, it
seems, managed his affairs. They took
care of him in his old age, and in his last
years did all for him that could be done.
4 wear or so ago Jarrett died and will

OF Union; Hon. Robert l.. Parrish, OF
Covington, Va. and Captain Robert

of Greenbrier. Some two hundred
witnesses were examined, and the case
took up two weeks for trial. BY the
decision Mr. keeney comes into pos
session of one of the finest farms in
the State, comprising about l, 900 acres,
besides ether large properties, and
so, 000 in cash. The evidence in the
case was so largely in favor of the will
that, we learn, the contestants will not
take it to the Supreme Court:

A Bird that Sails.

The most wonderful thing about the
albatross is their flight. 1t is an unfail-
ing source of interest. They very rarely
ply their wings, but keep the fluent ten

stretched and motionless. All fight is a
perennial marvel. We see and partly
understand it, since in its common cases
the forces which produce and govern it
can be determined but we have no re-
alizing sense of it. But over and above
the case of ordinary birds, problems of
flight remain which almost battle science.
What power conveys the osprey at lev
ell, for fu1long after furlong, to sweep
upward without effort at last2 How do
the condors sail around Antisana and So
rata without the least vibration of their
wings2 Save when they are rising from the
ground, Mr.. Darwin, duriEg long and
unremitted scrutiny, failed to detect a
trcmor of their quills. He was driven
to surmise that in fluid like the
air, where friction is so slight. the fire.
quent vigorous movements of their necks
and other members might suffice for
progress as they tloatcd on their vast sup
ports. But albatrosses do not move at
all, except by a slight bending of the
neck frCm side to side as they search the
waves for any nutrient morsel. Fly they
do not in any common sense, but sail;
to this conclusion we are forced. The
opinion is confirmed by the continual al
terations of the angle of their wings chat
is, of the whole bird, with wings always
in line with another) with the surface
of the wster, which probably is done to
get the full advantage from every little
puff or current. These take ali sorts of
turns, often at steep inclination up or
down, and the albatross, when he feels
the breeze, at once assumes, with fault
less instinct, the angle which will give
him most propulsion. In consequence of
this, his flight often exhibits great vari-
ETY. of motions, or rather variations OF d.
rcction, swerving to the right or left
obliqucly upward-withersoever it may
suit him,-St. James's G0zttte.

Nervous New Workers.

Great Losses Of Fish.

In the vicinity of Galena, ILL.,, the fish
in many of the streams have lately died
by the million, and the few that are left
are rapidly following suit. The banks
of the Galena River branches are lined
with dead fish of all sizes and varieties,
from the tiny minnow to the mammoth
cat and sturgeon. At Buncombe, Wis,
dead fish are so numerous on the banks
that the stencil arising from them is
almost unbea-able. At Lancaster, Wis,
the scene on the river bank beggars
description, over fifty wagon loads of
dead fish being in sight. There are
numerous theories afoat as to the cause.
One is that the recent rains have rolled
the water with mud, so that the fish
have bern unable to breathe, and strug-
Cling to the surface for air, have died.
another is that during the dry, hot
summer, the valleys and marshes above
were filled with some poisonous growth
that with the recent floods was carried
into the streams and poisoned the water.

A Girl Snake.Catcher.

She lives in Maiden; she is seventeen
years old, or thereabouts, and she is an
ophiologist-that is to say, her specially
is snakes. Very often, in pleasant sum
mer weather, this young girl, with hands
clad in high buck gloves, and armed with
q bottle of chloroform. turks about the
fens and pools and thickets watching for
snakes, girl fair to look upon, saunter-
ing, one might imagine, with eye upon
the ground, in maiden meditation, fancy
free. She is in maiden meditation, in
deed, but not fancy free, because her
fancy is bound to snakes, and she is
searching intently for some variety not
yet added to her collection of several
hundred. Presently she stops; with an
eager CLEAN in her eye she crouches
along a step or two, her glove-clad right
hand drawn back as if to clutch some
object; she springs forward toward the
ground with swift motion, and then
stands erect with the body of snake
writhing about her arm in desperate
throes. She has it by the neck, and
proceeds calmly to thrust its head into
the neck of her bottle of chloroform.
Not many days ago this young sci
enlist, after a rather desperate contest,
captured in the fells a black snake so
large and powerful that when it wrapped
itself in the mad grasp of its body about
her arm it strained her cords and muscles
so severely that she was lame for week.
It did not prevent her, however, from
sallying forth again, and when she hap
pened to perceive, at the margin of a
pool, big water-snake of variety which
She had not secured for her collection,
she lay in wait for it. As the snake
pounced upon frog she pounced upon
the snake; but the reptile was in his
element and escaped her. Was she to be
batfled in that way7 Not at all. She
managed to anchor a frog in some way
upon stone at the edge of the pool, at
spot where the bank overhung with
bushes. Then she stealthily laid herself
fiat upon her face under the bushes at
the brink of the water, and there she lay
in ambush for a long time, while the
snake curiously eyed the frog. At last
the snake, with sudden resolution, made
bold to seize the frog; but as he did so
gloved hand, swifter than his own
sinuous motion, darted from the bank,
and he was prisoner, splashing the
water of the pool in his vain effort to
escape. The girl has one grief-she has
not been able to capture, with her own
hands, rattlesnake.-Boston Transcript.

strong one. We went together to the
morane at the foot of the glacier.
We tried to go up some of the
crevasses at the bottom, but the
water was too strong. At last we
found one that was narrow and the cur
rent weak. We found we could walk up
long distance until it became too narrow.
He said that would do. Then we broke
nv alpenstock and took one piece. he
went round to the top of the glacier and
I sat among the stones until ne would
blow his horn. He fixed the alpenstock
in the crevice. Then he went to the
hotel and told them he was uneasy about
me. When he and the other guide came
across the ice they blew their horns and
I went up the crevasse and blew mine:
After long time the rope came down. l
tied it around me and they pulled me up;
When the accident was printed In all
the papers all over the world a great
many people came to Chamonix.
The Doctor himself seemed in trance
while the guide slowly told how the deed
was done. He was amazed and cha
grincd. His hero had crumbled.
"What like" said as I finished the
last of the writing, what I like about
this story is the simplicity of diction; the
evident truthfulness and the absence OF
all brag."
"Oh, yes" said the Doctor rousing
himself up, "of course will never hear
the end Of this if it once gets out. All
the same, you believed his story quite as
much as I did, although of course you
won't admit that now"
He made few passes and woke the
guide up.
"You are tired" said the Doctor, "and
think you dropped asleep for few
moments. ."-Detrob Free Press.
